Long overdue update...

Well, the 'Zilla is still with me! It's been 'off the rocks' for a little while now due to a broken steering linkage on the front - it was the original plastic Tamiya servo saver thingy, and it had to be screwed down as tight as it could be as it just cost steering authority any other way - so it wasn't really up to the job. I've got metal replacements in manufacture on my bench and they're nearly done now. I'll write another post about them when they're finished.

Other than that I had several good outings with the truck over the summer months. I managed to get some Giant Trac tyres from the USA - they cost a fair bit what with the postage but they were well worth it. The grip is substantially better than the original Clodbuster chevrons.

Also in production (shortly!) will be some sort of skidplate/axle guards. Pics to follow!
